Thank you for the "Welcome" Born in New Orleans, LA a hundred years ago it seems. Dropped out of high school to join the Air Force in 1955. I became an aircraft mechanic. Obtaining my GED within the first year of service, I spent the next four years as an aircraft mechanic in places such as Texas, Florida, Spain and Michigan before going to school to become a Flight Engineer. Assigned as a Flight Engineer on C-124, C-130, C-141 and eventually C-5s, I spent the next 21 years flying the line and obtaining my Pilot's License. Upon retirement from the Air Force October 1st 1981 and completing college work for a BBA-Management degree under the Vietnam Veteran's G.I. Bill, at Kennesaw College (Now Kennesaw State University) in Marietta, GA I went to work flying and teaching the B-727 for Flight International, Inc. in Atlanta GA. The day that company was sold I was hired by Continental Airlines in Houston, Texas 1984. I became the Chief Ground School Instructor for the B-727 in the Flight Training Department at Houston Intercontinental Airport. UPS started its airline in 1988 and hired me in April of that year as part of the Initial Cadre to start up a B-747 Pilot Training Program. We had the program up and running in September of 1988 and the first 108 UPS Pilots to fly the UPS B-747 were trained in my classroom. I retired from Aviation in 1998

Just bought a Springfield XDs and decided I need a conceal holster and found that "Crossbreed Holsters" offers a military discount. Just enter code "MIL" for coupon code when you check out and you're good to go for a 10% discount. These holsters are made by a dude in Republic, MO. He offers a 2 week money back trial period and a lifetime warranty.

Risk Rescorla was an absolute badass, but also a true leader. A man that put his people before himself until the end, so that others may live. A rescue professional if there ever was....

That's what we need, more worthless metal in the air clogging up the stack.

I already suggested simply putting iTunes on the epubs computer we already have in the briefing room, and setting it up to sync everyone's iPads to the current epubs by simply plugging them in (before they even started issuing them). The powers-that-be have decided "that's too hard", and are padlocked to setting up a $ecure wifi in the building to $ync over the air. Meanwhile, we basically can't use the fucking things because the epubs on it are out of date. My lowly TSgt/TR opinion counts for somewhere between jack and shit in this fight - too many O-5s cockfighting for the OPR bullet...
